1^ST ROUNDS:

Troops will log into SNAP between January 25^th – January 30^th and may submit requests up to 10 slots.  Every troop is guaranteed at least one slot.  Troops may receive up to 2 of the 10 requested.  If all 10 are denied, troops will receive a phone call on January 31^st to secure them one over the phone.

JANUARY 31^st – 1^st rounds booths are closed and SNAP does the lottery.  After lottery is run, all troops that did NOT get one slot will receive a phone call to secure one slot over the phone.  All others will receive an email and can view on SNAP.
